I'm not exactly a 'dog-lover'. Actually, I would say "I hate dogs".....but that's so non-PC:). I have a mental list going of reasons I dislike the things (curiously, dogs love me, but that's another post), and this made #1,117:

I was running yesterday, enjoying a little Rhianna on my iPod (which, turns out, does not make me run any faster).....when I was sandwiched between a super-mean brown lab (is this a species?) and a passing car WITH A PIT-BULL IN THE PASSENGER SEAT!!! This might not have been that big of a deal, had I been paying attention to my surroundings, and/or seen either of the dogs or the car before THEY LUNGED AT EACH OTHER!!!! Jumping, barking, gnashing of teeth. Did I mention that I was directly in the middle? And hadn't seen it coming? And hate dogs? And thought they were going to eat me for Thanksgiving? Thankfully, Dog A was behind an invisible fence....but that did not save my cell phone (that I dropped), my pants (that I peed in), or the small children (who were playing next door) who went home with all kinds of new words.
